        Just some experimentation. Really, I started randomly pressing buttons like a monkey - rendering each time.

          Note that the material will be visible in reflections and refractions.

            Right, so in a window you would see the reflection of that green cartoon tree.

              what about the checkbox right below that one? (Exclude All Materials from Reflection/Refraction)

                indeed, the exclude materials checkbox works pretty well. First image
                original

                Here is the option of visible only in secondary for the tree material
                tree material hidden

                The mirror material has the exclude materials from relfection/ refrac. option checked (optimize exclusion didn't seem to make any difference)
                invisible

                  Thanks Andybot for completing the experiment. Now we know.

                    Hello,

                    I have v-ray to Sketch-up 7,
                    I can´t find the option "only visible in secondary"
                    in the material editor. Could it be I have an old version?

                        The problem with exclude object form the reflection is that you will exclude all the object.
